n To all whmn it may com-em.-

. Be it known that we, PAULF. WAC'HEN- -HUSEN and FREDERICK H.WACHENHUSEN,

citizens of the United States, respectively, b the former a resident ofBrighton, Boston,

county of Suffolk, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the latter a resident,of Malden, I County of Middlesex, in said Commons wealth ofMassachusetts, have invented an 1 Improvement in Pay Envelopes, of whichthe following description, in connection with theaccompanying drawings,is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing likeparts. v

This invention relates to envelo and articularly to pay envelopes so caled, and its object is to provide a novel envelope for that purposehaving, among others, the advantages herein pointed out.

In the drawings of one embodiment of my invention illustrated anddescribed herein,

Fig. 1 is a plan of the envelope closed;

Fig. 2, a similar view of the envelope open, and on a larger scale; and

Fi 3, a similar view of a slightly modified orm of the envelope.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, my novel envelope comprises a back member 1,near one end of which there is attached thereto a pocket forming flap ormember 2, forming the pocket 3. This member in the present casecomprises the inturned flange portions 1 of the back 1 connected by amember 5 under-lapping the edges thereof.

This pocket is designed to receive the pay of the employee. The back 1,1, is creased for foldingalong lines 6, thus forming two flaps 8, 9, heformer overlying and enclosing completely the pocket 2, while the latterand narrowerflap 9, is adapted'to be folded again and secured to theopposite face of the back 1, by means of the adhesive 10 on the edge ofthe flap in the usual manner.

, ing for each day of thegweek for making a On the inner face of theflap 8 we provide for any fines with p Application and June a, 1921.Scr1a1No.474,445.*

and in column 14 he may keep arecord of the number of hours he worksovertime and for which he is entitled to extra pay.

Furthermore, the pay envelope serves the purpose of a pocket book inwhich the party may keep his money, as well as a memorandum book. A

The space on flap 8, Fig. 2, also offers. valuable opportunity foradvertising matter 15, because each time the owner opens his envelope hemust see the reading matter directly opposite the same. Also similarmatter maybe placed upon the pocket flap 5 for the same reason. It willbe noted that the back is ada ted to be severed along the dotted line7-2 to open the envelope and thus provide an ungummed flap for thestructure when used as a pocketbook.

In Fig. 3, a modified form of the record is illustrated and in whichseveral sheets 16 are stitched or otherwise fastened to the back 1, eachof whichmay contain reading matter and a series of lines under theheadnumber of entries of hours, fines, etc. This form of tabulation isparticularly adapted for parties who perform various duties during theday and desire to keep a separate account of time consumed by each duty.

On the sheet 16 may be printed a scale of chargesfor certain services orinstructions, or working rules and regulations.
